Rubicon Development has confirmed that Sony loaned the studio multiple PlayStation Vita dev kits. This will allow the small developer to port its iOS title Great Little War Game to the portable gaming console.

On the basis that you can’t put the cat back in the bag, I can confirm that Sony was generous enough to loan us some kit, and that’s one of the many reasons why I big them up every opportunity I get,” wrote Paul Johnson, managing director at Rubicon. “They really do seem to have gotten behind smaller developers, based on my own experience and from talking with other small devs, and I think they should be saluted for it.”

“We’re entering a new era in which digital downloads can be translated into mass market sales for smaller operators – once only the preserve of the big boys, he added.
